The Met Store Van Gogh Sunflower Drop Earrings* Earrings

These sunny cast-glass earrings embellished with hand-applied gold leaf honor the Museum’s Sunflowers (1887), one of four still lifes Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) painted featuring these eye-catching yellow blooms in Paris during the late summer of 1887. Paul Gauguin once owned two of the smaller sunflower studies, which he displayed above his bed before selling them in the mid-1890s to finance his trip to the South Seas.
